iPhone 6 Plus Is Now a Vintage Apple Device; Here’s What It Means!
Feb. 20, 2022iPhone 6 Plus Is Obsolete Now!
To recall, the iPhone 6 Plus sported a big 5.5-inch IPS LCD screen, the Apple A8 chipset, and an 8MP single rear camera. It was released alongside the standard iPhone 6 model, which fortunately did not become a vintage product just yet, thanks to an extended distribution run. However, the Plus variant did not enjoy the benefit asApple does not manufacture 5.5-inch iPhones anymore. As a result, it has now become a vintage Apple product in the market.
According to the company,“products are considered vintage when Apple stopped distributing them for sale more than 5 and less than 7 years ago.”Similarly, Apple adds a product to the obsolete list when it stops distributing them for sale for more than 7 years.
Now, vintage and obsolete productswon’t get any sort any hardware servicing from Apple. Even service providers cannot order parts for obsolete products for repair or replacement. However, MacBooks are solely exempted from these criteria as users are eligible for an additional battery-only repair period.
The current vintage iPhone list includes the iPhone 3G (China mainland) 8GB, iPhone 3G (8GB, 16GB), iPhone 3GS (China mainland) 16GB, 32GB, iPhone 3GS (8GB), iPhone 3GS (16GB, 32GB), iPhone 4 CDMA, iPhone 4 CDMA (8GB), iPhone 4 16GB, 32GB, iPhone 4 GSM (8GB), Black, and iPhone 4S (8GB).
A geek at heart, you’ll find me fidgeting with an iOS device or sitting in front of the laptop, scouring the internet to find interesting technological innovations. In my free time, you’d find me playing Valorant or listening to Pink Floyd.
